Bridging the Gap: Integrating Multiple Forest Values into Policy
What is a forest worth? Beyond timber and carbon, the rural communities in Kilwa value forests for their cultural, relational, and intrinsic worth.
On 20th Jan. 2026, MCDI hosted a crucial workshop under the NAVIGATE (NAture’s multiple Values for InterGrATion Into dEcisions) project, in partnership with Aberystwyth University and the University of East-Anglia.
We brought together forestry experts and local stakeholders to discuss how to move beyond solely economic valuations and integrate these "hidden" values into decision-making.
A heartfelt thank you to all participants for their valuable contributions in shaping a more holistic future for Tanzania’s natural forests.
